Appendix E: Migrating from Moduliths

o.m.model.Modules has been renamed to o.s.m.model.ApplicationModules
o.m.model.ModuleDetectionStrategy has been renamed to o.s.m.model.ApplicationModuleDetectionStrategy
@o.m.test.ModuleTest has been renamed to @o.s.m.test.ApplicationModuleTest
o.m.docs.Documenter.Options has been renamed to o.s.m.docs.Documenter.DiagramOptions
The diagram style of component diagrams now defaults to DiagramStyle.C4 (override by calling DiagramOptions.withStyle(DiagramStyle.UML))
The module canvas hides non exposed types by default. To include application-module-internal types in the canvas, configure CanvasOptions to ….revealInternals().
The output folder for component diagrams and application module canvases has moved from moduliths-docs to spring-modulith-docs located in your build’s target folder (such as target for Maven).
